Look at these pages from Ultimate Spider-man, then compare them to the comics by Lee and Ditko. 9 pages to tell you what Amazing Fantasy told you in one page.
Decompression means making what should happen in two pages, happen in twenty pages. It's an artificial method of padding out length, usually with lots of unnecessary dialogue.
No.1029592
Fuck, 9 pages to repeat the same shit over and over again. Peter doesn't even become Spider-man in the first issue. There's no action in the first issue at all. Ultimate Spider-man really pisses me off, it was the beginning of the end for modern superhero comics.

Ultimate Peter is nothing like the actual Peter Parker. I'm not going to post anymore of Bendis' shit comics, but the fact that Mary Jane gives half of a shit about Peter (later on it's shown they're good friends) is so out of character for who Peter is supposed to be. Peter is supposed to be a complete loser, he isn't meant to have friends, people aren't supposed to care about him. The amount of bullying he receives also illustrates the point. The fact that people are actively making a big show out of fucking with him, no one should care enough about him to even do that.

It's basically a matter of pacing. A "decompressed" comic might use a single issue to depict events that an older comic would cover in two or three pages. A sometimes related term is "widescreen," which refers primarily to the visual element of large, wide (like page-width) panels with striking action shots. It can be very dramatic, but it also slows down the pacing of the comic. A good example might be The Authority.
>>1029572
Probably. His way of writing dialogue tends to stretch things out, and he does that a lot.

It's not hard to see why though. A Peter Parker that's friendless and antisocial is hard to humanize and doesn't have a lot of mileage writing-wise.

By not characterizing him as a few steps away from Holden Caulfield but as a guy just trying to do right by his aunt and save the day. To characterize him in his early days as a recluse is hardly accurate. Peter even dated fucking Betty Brant before Gwen Stacy was anything more than a side character. If anything, Peter is what incels wish they could be.

Recently I’ve read through the first 20 issues of spider-man, and they really capture what superhero comics are all about: battles between people with powers. It sounds simple, and on one level it is, but recently all the retards shitting out comics in the past few years don’t understand it at all. The characters have to try their hardest to win and perform all sorts of crazy tricks, but current year comics creators are not clever enough to come up with any cool tricks for them to pull.

Wow, it's almost like Spider-Man is a fantasy comic. The whole point, though, is that he starts out as an incel, he only very slowly gains a social life, and even then it always gets destroyed and messed up. Making Peter Parker a chadlite is completely destroying the character, which is what happened the second Ditko left the book and he went from this, to this.
The whole point of Peter Parker was that without Uncle Ben, he would have basically become Doctor Octopus. Stan Lee forgot about this the second Ditko left the book because Ditko was the incel keeping things high-quality, as soon as he was gone it all went to shit and Peter met Mary Jane and then he became a Chadlite and slowly became an unlikable douche. Only real good thing that happened after Ditko was gone was when Gerry Conway killed Gwen, that was a good Spider-Man moment, him trying to save her and breaking her neck.
